Subject: [PATCH 3/5 (resend)] veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex
Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 15:02:03 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5020F5AB.3090101@parallels.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <501FD14F.2040209@parallels.com>
The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago),
so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it.
